Monitoring and Mapping Long-Distance Spread of Plant Pathogens

  • Chapter
Experimental Techniques in Plant Disease Epidemiology

Abstract

Plant pathogens may spread to widely separated areas. Longdistance spread implicitly means dispersal over hundreds of kilometers. In such a dispersal most propagules die but the chance of success permits the occupation of a new habitat with a vast potential for multiplication. Proof for such disseminiation is the incontrovertible association between the pathogen and the resulting disease in the source, from which the spores dispersed, and the invaded habitat; or the interception of migrant spores.
